Default Trying to run Kathandrax

Well im trying to 600/smite Kathandrax and I just need to know the route in the dungeon. Can anyone who runs it send me a screenshot of the route you take? Im using IAU, PI, Blessed aura, and essence bond (along with the other standard 600 skills) Do I need more energy management? Also if theres any tricks/tips that anyone can offer I would be very grateful. Thank you everyone who helps in advance

Well, I bring a sin that runs Floor 2 entirely for me. And they run floor 1 after I get the Key.

Look at a wiki map and streamline to the keys then to exit.

Balth Aura+Essence bond=More than enuff energy management, I use Dwarven Stability for my Anti KD (Drunk)

NEVER bring essence bond in Kathandrax.

Also, I do use my perma to clear lvl2, or hold aggro until we pass through.

Here's my build:

I think he means as the 600 don't use e. bond. The ranger uses e. bond to put onto the 600. It is due to the fact e. bond only triggers on phsy and ele damage. So say a mesmer with is wanding you with a chaos damage(i think that is the type of damage mesmer wands/staves do)from mesmer weapon only Balth spirit triggers energy. I know this cause of mantid dreamweavers in dsc. They can be a pain sometimes.

This can easily be done with just a 600 and a hero smiter.

You use "I am unstoppable" to run the last part of Level 2 (it gets rid of KD and the crippled). But you gotta take down the last forgemaster group (next to a couple of siege wurms).

Watch also at the start of level 2, because some of the oozes (cant remember which, been a long time, the black ones) are a bitch to take down especially with the healers. My advice is to use to PI on the healers quick and to take them down while you are still tanking. Roaring Ethers can be a pain too if your SB goes down.

3rd level can be difficult because of the constant bombardment from siege wurms and the spawn has once or twice made it unplayable for me as the smiter gets aggro at the start no matter where its put, but the flame djinn boss that drops the key is easy if you get everyone to ball and pain inverter him well.

Yeah, its a good, fun run. And VERY profitable for the full run. Have fun!

Personally I run 2 accounts with a sin and a 600/smite. I run level 1 and 2 on my sin and then finish lvl 3 on my 600 makes for a really fast (30-35 min) and profitable run. I have actually developed a 8 man sin way build to defeat this dungeon in half this time. If u need a guide pm me ign HK Fourtyseven.
